Santicri Mixed media, acrylic Dimensions: 100x70x20 cm Certificate of authenticity - hand-signed Unique Work This piece fuses painting and object, transforming one of the most recognizable icons of contemporary communication into a physical gesture suspended in time. The brushstroke, incorporated into the canvas, becomes an integral part of the work, fixing the creative act in the moment of its execution.

His art stands out in an exclusive context that includes other categories of excellence, such as Rolex, Lego, Louis Vuitton, Porsche, Eames, Macallan, Tintin, Cartier, and Pokémon. A talent recognized not only for creative value but also as one of the most promising investments of the year. Born in 1992 in Macerata, Marche, the Italian artist pursued a path that, between studies in Geometer and Architecture, led him to collaborate with a resin sculpture artisan. There arose the increasingly strong need to find himself and unleash his creativity. His works are sold worldwide, collaborating with galleries in Italy and Europe. His art is widely appreciated and cannot be missing among collectors of street art, pop art, and contemporary art paintings and sculptures. "It is never easy to classify one’s art; I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of seeing what surrounds me, and I reshape it with a design that suits modern times: impactful and memorable." The seller speaks for himself Communicating through a work goes beyond the message: it is the very heart of art. My works oscillate between social messages and pure pop, often with a touch of irony. I try to reinterpret what surrounds me with a contemporary, impactful, and memorable visual language. Beauty, to me, is a bridge between people. In my works I try to capture that sense of connection and recognition that arises from the harmony hidden in forms. Resin is today the material I prefer: it allows me to experiment, to merge design and sculpture, to explore new aesthetic possibilities. This ongoing search pushes me beyond my comfort zone, keeping creative curiosity alive. I create to give form to an inner impulse, to make visible what is usually invisible: time, labor, and experience that give meaning to our path.
